I retain cautious optimism that Trump will not become a dictator. He is getting increasingly old and is restrained by term limits that he will not be able to get rid of. It is also worth noting that Republicans' down ballot performance has been underwhelming to say the least, with the party set to get a very narrow House majority that will not make governing easy.
Let’s hope so. But, as I will argue in the next installment, Trump can still go a long way toward his autocratic goals even without the support of Congress.
